1. A team game has three teams of two, or two teams of three, and a judge.
2. The judge selects an empty table and warns potential sitters that the table is wanted for a team game. 3. The team members seat themselves alternately by team. Members of a team have the same avatar. 4. When the judge is satisfied that team members are seated correctly, the judge sits in as teal and the game begins. 5. The judge does not make any attacks during the game unless agreed upon by all teams. 6. The judge records the points earned by team members, compiles the team scores, and posts them to a suitable repository: for example, the judge's own profile page. 7. The "season" begins with all team members with elo's at 1500. The season ends before any team member reaches the top 25 of rank-from-rating. The new season is begun with a new account issed to each team member, or Ryan sets their old accounts to 1500. |

at 12:34 PM, Thursday July 5, 2007 EDT skrum, i believe any team play will be user setup, ryan does not seem to be interested in going through the labor to create team games, something that kdice was not intended to have in it's creation...

The judge doesn't have to be Ryan. It can a volunteer who likes the team playing idea. Also, there would probably be leagues, with league commissioners. Condolezza Rice could be a league commissioner if she doesn't get to run the NFL. |

The whole point of the thread is that it can be done with the present setup. Ryan can be involved once a month if team players want him to reset their elo's. |

at 3:58 PM, Thursday July 5, 2007 EDT See, I just don't think he wants to be bothered to just reset SOME people.

In that case, just let the players create new accounts. They do it anyway. |

at 5:21 PM, Thursday July 5, 2007 EDT why just post all the known teams/PGAs in a permanent thread? much easier to enforce that way.
